Editor's Notes
- The accessibility campaign is about increasing the number of landlords open to considering adaptation requests and this is linked to the points above which are: Funding – landlords need to be made more aware about the DFG and how some grants are also funded under social care Local authority involvement- landlords need local authorities to have clear signposting about adaptations within the PRS
- Share the tenant results before proceeding to the next slide
- Explain that the box out (No. of properties (let to those with accessibility needs) provides a breakdown of how the eight percent of landlords are providing adaptations. In this case, the proportion of landlords providing adaptations increases as their portfolio size rises.
